Trust me you wont find a bigger fan of 2099 than this guy *points thumbs at self*

I was a pretty big fan, but by no means the biggest. I read all of X-Men, Doom, and Ravage. I started Punisher and Hulk but didn't finish them. X-Nation sucked, despite it having so much potential I never got around to reading Ghost Rider (beyond the first issue), Fantastic Four, or Unlimited. World of Tomorrow is good in hindsight, though I always hated how Metalhead was so out of character, and that Skullfire was simply missing from the plot. I'd probably hate it if I read it now. Manifest Destiny sucked.

Honestly, though I was a huge X-Men 2099 fan... my favorite 2099 issue was the Apocalypse oneshot that was an aftermath of One Nation Under Doom. Loved that issue.

I thought it was lower-tier mediocre with promise to get better. It felt fairly cliche to me and the mention of Rocket and Gamora being members of the Guardians of the Galaxy 17 years ago was just absurd. The Guardians weren't even in existence until maybe 2 years ago Marvel time... maybe.

Does this like, take place in the future then? Cuz the Guardians JUST formed. Like, after the second Annihilation mini. Cuz the originals are from the far future, and neither of them were in that group......this makes no sense. EXPLAIN!

Yeah Nova was bad. It's not just how unoriginal it was, but the lack of Loeb putting any type of personality on the cliches was what really hurt it. Not sure if I'll stick with it either. Marvel is releasing way too many comics that deserve my attention to stick with Nova if it's going to be that mediocre from now on. I'll just stick with Guardians and Thanos Rising for my cosmic titles I suppose.

Worse, this takes place in our near past since it's the origin of Sam Alexander as Nova. As Nova, he's appeared in Avengers vs. X-Men so this at least takes place before then.

His dad is a drunk who tells "stories" of his days in the Nova Corps, though no one believes him. In the opening scene, his dad is telling a story of how he and two other Novas rescued Gamora and Rocket, naming them as members of the Guardians of the Galaxy. The time period of that story was "seventeen years ago."

I assumed that he meant that Rocket and Gamora would be Gaurdians of the Galaxy. Like...when people reminisce about Captain America in WWII, they still think of him as an Avenger. Even if he wasn't yet.

Ive been thinking about trying out Captain Marvel. And I think I have decided to drop several 3.99 titles after their first five or six issues(and look at getting trades for future issues) so I can actually buy some stuff outside of Marvel...
